as your vehicle. Fix them securely in place onto the carpet.

Hybrid System

■ Hybrid System Indicator

Charge area

Shows regenerative charging.

Hybrid Eco area

Shows that gasoline engine power is

not being used very often.

The gasoline engine will automatically

stop and restart under various condi-

tions.

Eco area

Shows that the vehicle is being driven

in an Eco-friendly manner.

Power area

Shows that an Eco-friendly driving

range is being exceeded (during full

power driving etc.)

● Hybrid System Indicator is displayed when the driving mode is other than the sport

mode.

● By keeping the indicator needle within Eco area, more Eco-friendly driving can be

achieved.

● Charge area indicates regeneration

* status. Regenerated energy will be used to charge

the battery.

*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of energy created by

the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.

Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from conventional vehicles.

Be sure you are closely familiar with the characteristics of your vehicle, and operate with

care.

The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and an electric motor (traction

motor) according to driving conditions, improving fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust

emissions.

For details, refer to the “OWNER’S MANUAL”.

GS450h_QG_OM30E61U_(U)

■ Charging the hybrid battery (traction battery)

If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be charged. Always put

the shift lever in P when the vehicle is stopped. When driving in heavy traffic, operate the

vehicle with the shift lever in D or S to avoid discharging the battery.

■ Regenerative braking

In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and deceleration

force can be obtained in conjunction with the recharging of the hybrid battery (traction bat-

tery).

● The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in D or S.

● The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift position in D or S.

■ Sounds and vibrations specific to a hybrid vehicle

There may be no engine sounds or vibration even though the vehicle is able to move. For

safety, apply the parking brake and make sure to shift the shift position to P when parked.

The following sounds or vibrations may occur when the hybrid system is operating and are

not a malfunction:

● Motor sounds may be heard from the engine compartment.

● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid battery (traction battery) behind the rear seats

when the hybrid system starts or stops.

● Sounds from the hybrid system may be heard when the trunk lid is open.

● Sounds may be heard from the hybrid transmission when the hybrid system starts or

stops.

● Engine sounds may be heard when accelerating sharply.

● Sounds may be heard due to regenerative braking when the brake pedal is depressed.

● Vibration may be felt when the gasoline engine starts or stops.

● Cooling fan sounds may be heard from the air intake vents on the both sides of the rear

seatback.

■ Running out of fuel

When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the

vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warning light go off. If there is

only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not be able to start. (The minimum

amount of fuel to add to make the low fuel level warning light go out is about 2.6 gal. [10.0 L,

2.2 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value may vary when the vehicle is

on a slope.)

You can view the status of your hybrid system on the multi-information display and the

Remote Touch screen.

Vehicles with a 12.3-inch display: The energy monitor or consumption screen can be dis-

played on the side display.

The flow of energy is displayed on the Remote Touch screen.

Red: gasoline energy

Amber: electrical energy

Light blue: energy recovery

A light blue arrow appears when regenerative braking

occurs.

The flow of energy is indicated by the movement of the arrows

on the multi-information display.

The displayed energy flow, battery level, etc. will change in response to the current driving

conditions.
